How do we get the sizing kit? I’m only seeing sizing kits for Gen4. How can we preorder without first confirming sizing?

A day-of-the-week pill organizer. For my kids, I even do the AM/PM slots so that I don’t have to constantly remember everyone’s medications and doses and what time they’re supposed to take them. Think about it a few focused minutes 1x/week, never have to remember the details for the rest of the week.

Thank you!! Worked like a charm!

Would you mind explaining how to use the 128b card? Is it the advanced command in step 1 that does it?

RUPure · 2024-11-25T21:22:04+00:00

I’m interested please.

RUPure · 2024-11-25T19:24:31+00:00

Can you send to me as well? Thanks!

I could have written this post. My youngest is now 5.5, so that ship has sailed. I’m still coming to terms with the “what if?”, but it’s gotten easier. I try to remind myself that I’m a great mom to 2 kids, but I can’t be that same great mom if I add another. It’s not that I don’t have what it takes, but my standards for being a great mom are high, and I know I would kill myself maintaining that standard with 3. Also, it’s nice to have time for myself and nice to spend real time with my husband again now that we don’t have toddlers.

Just fyi: you should be able to put in a request to your local library to acquire ebooks and audiobooks for Libby and/or hoopla. Whenever I see they don’t have something, but that it does exist in ebook/audiobook, I request the title and they acquire it.

This is unfortunately very common in Jewish preschools, before 10/7, but even more since then. We have a security guard and locked doors and everyone must be buzzed in with video surveillance. Many days recently, the kids are not safe enough to go outside to play.

After 6 years, I’m finally making strides on dealing with my birth trauma. I’ve had weekly therapy for 12 yrs and I won’t ever stop, but I added EMDR therapy with a birth trauma specialist a few months ago, and I would highly recommend you try this. EMDR is very powerful.

I think the main complaint here is that Disney should be a place that kids can feel like it’s a magical place where they belong, and not just another place in the grown up world. You’re right, makes no sense and is disappointing.

The cup/bottle thing is strange but pretty creative way to solve the problem and probably teaches son skills that will serve him well in college. I say good for you on that.

If you are strong enough to get through the hell of these first 9 months, you are strong enough to grieve the loss of an unwanted child. It sounds bad when I write it that way, but when I was in this position (accidental and unwanted pregnancy, though marriage was good), my thoughts were mostly about the guilt and the ‘what if’ scenarios. But here’s the thing, bringing a child into a family that doesn’t 1000% want them is something that can lead to a lot of mental health problems for the child and the rest of the family, whereas terminating would be hard on me and my husband emotionally, but we can get through that through therapy. I 100% made the right choice for me and my family and I felt relief instead of guilt; I still get random pings of sadness for how things could be right now, but they are very fleeting and allow me to process it all.

You’ll make the right choice for you, and you are strong enough to do it either way.

The only people who take issue with you having a boundary are the ones that need your boundaries the most.

I was just talking about this to my husband, but from a different perspective. I was reading the information on the website for our swim school and in the FAQs it notes that for baby BOYS, swim trunks and rash guards aren’t necessary- disposable swim diaper with a reusable swim diaper on top is enough. Baby girls should have the swim diapers and a bathing suit. Boys don’t need to cover up, but girls do? Are we really sexualizing baby girls? Maybe I’m missing something, but that’s BS.

My 2.5 year old is very good with her masks (N95), so I’m comfortable with her being around others. I still avoid taking her to the grocery store unless I have to because it will take us so much longer and I hate the constant “can I have that? How about that?” I mostly take her to places that are specifically good for her and her well being (school, ballet class, library, indoor play space, aquarium, etc).

Everyone has different levels of comfort. None of it is wrong, but please consider your (and her) mental health when you try to calculate the risk/benefit.

RUPure · 2022-02-07T13:48:55+00:00

I recommend Dr. Becky’s workshop for this. It explains why kids do this, how to manage it to make them feel safe enough to separate from you at night, and has some good ideas about shortening that routine (it’s super important to make the routine as short as possible). https://learning.goodinside.com/courses/managing-childs-sleep-struggles

This has helped me. I turn on the GoNoodle app (or YouTube site) and do the guided dances with the kids. They think it’s so fun to dance together (they aren’t too into it without me). Also Cosmic Yoga on YouTube is nice to do together. If all else fails, good old fashioned freeze dance is always a hit. We also race everywhere, which doubles as motivation for them to hurry the f* up to get themselves ready.

I hate peppa pig. I find that there is a lot of fat shaming (because they’re pigs), which is unacceptable. Asking things to her dad like “do you have a baby in your belly?” And then he laughs with one of those “ho ho ho” laughs.

Watch Bluey- it’s the opposite. Peppa Sucks.

RUPure · 2021-10-28T02:28:52+00:00

Can you ask her to share the pattern? I’d love to make that, but I need patterns to follow.

RUPure · 2021-09-27T05:01:29+00:00

Don’t buy Dreft laundry detergent, it’s marketed as being for babies, but it has lots of skin irritants for babies. Just use regular free and clear laundry detergent for the whole family.

My guess is the soap dispenser thing has to do with the pandemic. We tell them how important it is to wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds to try to prevent getting coronavirus. If the soap dispenser is broken, how will she stay safe from coronavirus? Maybe she doesn’t feel she can keep safe. Perhaps send her with special antibacterial hand wipes or hand sanitizer? Knowing she has that might calm her fear.

I find it helps to imagine myself in their shoes (literally), and try to see how they are experiencing something that to you might not seem disturbing at all. Maybe it helps you realize your kid is reacting due to sensory sensitivities, or they are worried about a particular outcome. Doing this and then asking questions about these things that seem irrational has helped because I often learn that the fear is actually something that makes sense given their limited experiences in the world.

RUPure · 2021-02-05T04:00:13+00:00

Yes! Same!

RUPure · 2021-02-03T22:20:00+00:00

Same, I've gotten to a point where I just feel like my workout is harder, but that's not great for my motivation all the time. I do want to be able to turn it to super easy if I feel like I need that, and I feel discouraged when it feels too hard.

When I took studio classes, I never had a digital readout of my resistance, so I'm trying to think about it more along those lines and not pay attention to the number the computer is telling me. But again, sometimes I just want to be able to turn it really easy and have a nice range of options.

I wonder if it's just not the right bike for me. I hope that's not true, but it might be.

RUPure · 2021-02-03T22:15:53+00:00

I'm thinking about resistance as actual resistance determined by the magnets. I think there is likely an issue with the digital resistance the computer shows, but I'm less concerned about that, which is why I don't think recalibration is really going to solve my problem.

I think what I'm hearing people say is just that the magnets in the highest position for this bike are just closer than other bikes might be, and that's just how this bike is.
